This is intentional. Companies are actively trying to develop capabilities to replace humans. I am surprised there are not enough protests against this.
Instead of protesting they are all getting together on Monday mornings in sf and hiking
Ha I've been following that group for a while now and it gets bigger every week!
I am happy to see them replace humans with AI machines. However, housing, healthcare, and other insurances have become super expensive. Who is going to buy all the stuff these companies produce? Maybe, it will become a two tier economy: wealthy selling stuff to fellow wealthy people; under ground economy with bartering their trades for food, building shacks for living, flea market dentists, old Wild West style flea market medical doctors selling potions, elixirs, dry lizard oil, etc.
Exactly, the “economy” only matters because the ruling classes need the labor. If you could accomplish everything using machines you could have all the resources, beautiful vistas and global warming runway to yourself. Maybe some classical occupations exist like teachers, artisans, actors, sex workers so that the ruling class can still flex on each other.
why should I protest not needing to work for money?
Isn't post scarcity a great goal to have?
These companies are going to destroy jobs and do nothing to help the people displaced by said destruction.
i tried to protest forced-ai use at my company on the basis of it being a workplace hazard and was promptly emailed by their lawyers
